Derivatives Markets

£145.00

The financial crisis in 2008 that plunged the world into recession led to the announcement of a coordinated global wave of regulation that would fundamentally change derivative markets. After years of development and negotiations, as the rules finally take shape, and market players start responding to them, derivative practitioners need a guiding light to help them in the strategic rethink necessary to navigate the new landscape and understand the fundamental revamp that has left many existing principles and assumptions irrelevant. Derivatives Markets: The New Regulatory Paradigm aims to do exactly that.
